## What it is
A curated guide with 200+ Spring interview questions and answers covering Spring, Spring Boot, Spring MVC, JPA, AOP, and RESTful services, with code examples. It is a study resource for Java developers preparing for backend interviews.

## Use cases
- prepare for a Spring framework interview
- review Spring Boot concepts before an interview
- study Spring MVC and REST API interview questions

## When to choose
- you are a Java developer preparing for Spring or Spring Boot interviews
- you want concise Q&A format study material with code examples
- you need a quick refresher on Spring core concepts like IoC, autowiring, and bean scopes

## When to avoid
- you need a comprehensive Spring tutorial or reference documentation rather than interview prep
- you are not working in the Java/Spring ecosystem
- you need up-to-date coverage of the very latest Spring 6/Boot 3 features without verifying yourself
